A Shoulder of Mutton with Oysters.

Stuff your Mutton with strong Oysters, of a moderate size, and sweet
herbs, roast it before a pretty quick Fire, basting it with Butter, and
saving the Gravy which falls from it, separate from the Fat, make it into
a sauce, with Claret, Pepper, and grated Nutmeg, then lay the Oysters that
you pull out about the Mutton, Garnish it with Parsly, and slices of Lemon;
and so serve it up.
